For example, the most surprising thing is the octagonal bezel design. What is the most famous watch of this style? Most cousins should laugh, it must be AP!
But the design, workmanship and story of AP's Royal Oak are great, but the price is also great. For many friends, it is a bit inappropriate as a watch for daily wear. The price of Casio's new watch at thousand yuan level is quite reliable. No wonder many cousins affectionately call it "farm oak":
But don't be fooled by the simple appearance of this watch. In fact, Casio has made great efforts this time. One of the major design innovations is the continuation of Casio's design of "digital" and "analog" double clocks in recent years. On the lower right of the dial, there is a multifunctional digital display screen, which shows the second hand and the daily date calendar. It can also be used to configure alarm clock and display some working status.
Traditional analog displays include hours, minutes and weekly calendars. This distribution disk partition looks intuitive, taking into account the overall sense of function. It shows Casio's excellent design ability in this category.
In addition to this relatively traditional design with white needles on a black background, Casio also provides an all-black design with a low profile, which is suitable for friends who like this design style.
In addition to the unique design of the dial, Casio also made a certain "slimming" design for this watch this time. We know that Casio's G-shock series, as a military-grade hard-core watch, has always been a relatively large and rough design route. Often 46mm, 48mm large dial design. The advantage of this is that you can wear gloves or compression suits when riding a bike. But on the contrary, if you wear it in school and office every day, it is a bit exaggerated.
So this time Casio chose the "carbon core guardian" technology on the farm oak tree, which is the so-called "carbon fiber core" technology. By using liquid synthetic resin material and carbon fiber elements on the inner side of the watch, excellent hardness and fit are achieved after cooling, and the size of the bezel is reduced, while still meeting the strict standards of G-shock for fall resistance, shock resistance and waterproof.
In addition to this carbon fiber core, it is also a plastic shell of Casio's signature and a big button with good feedback performance.
Yes, it's still a familiar formula and a familiar taste.
Functionally, this watch supports time display and conversion in 365,438+0 time zone (48 major cities around the world), stopwatch function of 0.065,438+0 seconds, timer, up to 5 alarm clocks, automatic calendar (it should be possible to change watches when the time comes), 65,438+02/24 hour display switching, and LED light function. Plus 200 meters waterproof, this kind of farm oak is really much stronger than the royal oak, so don't worry too much about going down to the ground. Fast flush is another good watch.
After slimming, the 48.5mm x 45mm dial is relatively small for G-shock, which is more suitable for the wearing needs of mainstream cousins (many girls look good in G-shock! )
However, what needs to be spit out here is that the strap is still a hard plastic strap of G-shock, which needs to be worn for a while to slowly fit the wrist. This should be based on the consideration of cost and durability, sacrificing some comfort. In addition, this strap can also be replaced later. Although the adaptation requirements are higher than ordinary watches, it finally provides a certain playability.
Finally, considering that the price of Casio GA-2 100 series is around 1,000 yuan, its modern modeling and dial design, rich functions and still strong reliability, it is no wonder that it has been popular all over the world since its listing in August last year.
I think Casio G-shock may be a "Uniqlo" in the watch industry, whether as the only main daily watch or as a "low-key" spare watch besides a bunch of luxury watches.
